My favourite story was probably Water, followed by Heat. Kind of lost interest in the last part of the book.

Heartbreaking and beautiful. An absolutely amazing collection of story stories that captures the diversity of the Australian experience. 
It does feature a lot of potentially concerning content, so do check the warnings.
